The Seventh Clan

2) The real thing

Samantha POV

I slowly open my eyes. The sight is unfamiliar, but I remember meeting some werewolf's my mother told me about. Wolf ears and tails, I defiantly found a werewolf clan, but which one? I didn't even get their name. The slide door open slightly and closed again. A scale figure came closer. I just smile and sat up.

''Good morning, Chilla. Is this clan dangerous or friendly?'' I ask while rubbing my tired eyes. I have been sick for two days, but now am I fresh. Chilla jump to times, telling me that is the second choice. Friendly. Chilla has the abilaty to sense people's aura and tell if they are good or bad. His size is my arm size. His body between my fingers to my albue and the tail is to my shoulders. Before I could ask further, is the sound of steps coming closer. Chilla quickly hid under the blanket. The slide door open wide and a tall blond haired male stand there. He is the one who asked for my name.

''Oh, you are awake. That's good. It was a serious fever you had there, but it's gone now. Do you feel anything bad or something?'' He asked kindly while kneed beside me. I just shake my head. ''That's fine. Just take it easy for some days... You must be wondering what's my name and where you are, right? Well, my name is Masanobu and you are in the Takeda army.''

''Takeda, one of the Gegga Tribe members. I remember mama told me about this.'' I mumble lowly, but he heard me clearly.

''That's right. Do you wanna meet the rest?'' I quickly nodded and reach my arms towards him, showing him I would like to be picked up. He understood my action and lift me up to his hips. He start walking outside the room, but...

''Chilla, come on. I don't wanna be alone.'' I called. Masanobu stopped for a second and look inside to. The blanket move a little until Chilla's head popped out.

''A-A dragon.'' Masanobu almost shouted it, but he remind himself to keep it quite. Chilla didn't hesitate to jump up at the two of us and sit on my shoulder like a scarf.

''This is Chilla, my partner. He won't do anything unless I tell him to.'' I sweetly explained. Masanobu nodded and start walking again. We were almost there when my stomach wanna show itself. Masanobu chuckle a little at my blushing face.

''Breakfast must be ready. We can eat together while you answer some question, okay?'' I nodded, I remember mama talked about being polite when you search for help. And if I wan't Takeda army to help me, then I need to be patient and answer their question. Masanobu open a door and I see four others sitting on the floor with tray of food in front of them.

''Ah, Masanobu. Good timing, and I see Samantha is awake too.'' Says the crimson haired male.

''What is that around her neck?'' Ask a young male beside the crimson haired male.

''This is Chilla, my friend. He has taken care of me so far.'' I kindly answer. Chilla lift his head and screech to greet them.

''Good to meet you two, my name is Shingen Takeda. Supreme commander of the Takeda army. And this young boy here is Masakage.'' So that is their name. The boy quickly argued that he is not a boy but a male. He remind me of Drake, mama's combat specialist. 

''My name is Nobuharu.'' A deep voice take my attention. He has dark skin and is so big.

''And I am Masatoyo.'' Why is his eyes closed? These five are friendly like Chilla said. Masanobu placed me down by a tray of food. My stomach growled again, which make me blush a little.

''First we eat, then we can talk afterwards.'' Says Masanobu to me. I nodded and take the chopsticks. The rice is still warm and the egg and beef is yummy. I left some so that Chilla can also have something to eat. I don't have a problem in sharing my food with Chilla, he actually feed me some times. Don't ask how. 

''Alright. Now time for question.'' Start Shingen and look over to me. ''Are you really from the Khuzaimah clan, the so call dragon clan?''

''Hai.'' I agreed. Shingen nodded and continue.

''What kind of power does the Khuzaimah clan have?'' I blinked twice from that question.

''You don't know? Our clan is known for unbreakable scales and for special power.'' I look confused at them, they should have known that.

''We knew that, but what is the special power you have? That is something that has never documented, so we don't know. And if you want help, then we need to know.'' Answered Shingen calmly to me. That make sense.

''Mama said our power is locked inside of us, of every member of the Gegga Tribes, but only unlocks when we do something we love, lose something important or use all of our stengt to unlock it. Mama can fly and breath fire and wind. Drake-nii-san have super strength. Mirage-nee-san can call for any weapon in her hands. Doryo has super speed and Jiao-Long can use poison and body control. That is our special powers that until now, we dragons have been able to release. I haven't open mine yet.'' I explain the best I can.

''So you are a real Khuzaimah... What happen since you are here and not with your family?'' Shingen carefully look at me like I would cry any minute now, but I have already cried my tears the first few days being away from my village.

''Someone attack my village, and the others try to fight them off and buy me and mama some time to escape, but mama told me it was the best if she went another path and even take the attention of the enemy so that I could escape. Mama told me to go south until I meet a Gegga member, and you are the first I meet. What happen to my village, do I not know. Sorry.'' I bowed my head a little. I tried my best to explain the situation, but it's hard. I was sleeping in my room when the intruder came, and mama keep me inside my room to explain the situation, so I don't know who did it and what they wanted. Only that I have to return after four full moons.

''Sorry to hear that, Samantha.'' Says Shingen. I just keep looking down.

''Just call me Sammy, that is what the other call me. But when it's serious do they call me my full name.'' I giggle. And there is my childish side. The others chuckle at me, which is fine. I always the one giving other a smile on their lips. Mama and the other says it's my unique super power. But not my real power, sadly.

''Do you clan hold some information on Himemiko-sama?'' Ask Masatoyo. I smile and nodded.

''We have a temple, full of books and Doryo sometimes read out loud to me about our history. I have heard of Himemiko sometimes.'' The time inside the temple with Doryo reading books until we both fall asleep until Drake or Mirage finding us.

''Well, this is enough answer for now. Masanobu, I would like if you go to Uesugi, Toyomi and Sanada army and pronounce a meeting here. Nobuharu, you go to Date and Oda army. We have found a clue and need to help a fellow Gegga member.'' Cheered Shingen. Energifull, calm, strong and a role leader. He is like what mama said about papa. Masanobu and Nobuharu nodded and quickly get going. ''Masakage, can you watch over Sammy here until they come. She isn't a women but a child so you be fine.''

''Fine, if it's your order, Shingen-sama.'' Masakage blush a little.

''Thanks for having me here.''
